Purpose with Mark Bertrang

Recently Mark Bertrang taught an online class on the Life Insurance strategies of Rich and Famous people you may have heard of, but never knew the untold stories of how they used life insurance to build their wealth without dying. This is the audio from that presentation which can be viewed on his YouTube channel.

Sharing her own story of depression and the journey to mental health wholeness, Judy Shoults, the 2013 Shining Star Award recipient during Mental Health Awareness month. Judy, a member of the La Crosse Area Suicide Prevention Initiative, community booster, and is a strong advocate on behalf of those affected by mental illness. That advocacy, she says, includes a focus on breaking the stigma associated with mental illness: "I live with major depression and I refuse to be ashamed of my disease." In selecting Shoults as the 2013 Shining Star, Patti Jo Severson, chair of MHC indicated that many of the misconceptions associated with persons living with a mental illness are dispelled when people step forward to openly discuss it. "They may be our friends, neighbors, co-workers. One in four people will experience mental illness at some point in their lifetime. We are very proud of Judy in raising awareness and reducing stigma," Severson said. Judy speaks to groups, sharing a message that she hopes will shape a better public understanding of mental illness while also reaching members of the community who need support.

Most Christians will be unable to join together in their faith communities for this year’s Good Friday services. This is one of the most important remembrances of the year. Before listening to this presentation, please find a quiet place, an uninterrupted place. Dim the lights and enter into the story of Christ’s last days before his death, as told through the gospel of Matthew. It is our hope, this presentation will bring you blessings as we journey towards Easter

Mark Bertrang never wanted to say "I'm sorry" when it came to making recommendations for a family's life insurance purchase. Today there are many slick presentations to help sway clients from one product to another product based on 'expected' returns and 'potentially' lower premiums. Mark Bertrang has learned over the past thirty years that the promises made through a Whole Life Insurance contract are promises that are kept. This is his conversation based on a recent supplement produced by an insurance company industry watchdog - AM Best.
